There are many fake condoms in Europe. There are more than 200,000 pieces. The goods come from China. The fakers use a famous brand name. The real brand does not know this.
Fake condoms are very dangerous. Nobody tests them. They are not safe. These products do not stop diseases. Diseases during sex can spread easily.
The condoms break medical rules. Experts test normal condoms very strictly. They check the strength and the cleanliness. The fake products fail these tests.
The fraud agency Olaf found the secret route. The goods looked like toys. The criminals wanted to trick the customs. Authorities in Romania, Serbia and Spain helped with the search.
The value of the goods is high. It is over 200,000 Euros. The investigators now know the sellers. They worked with China for this.
